Community Tasting Note

Friday, December 22, 2006 - Decanted 1 hour. Deep garnet red, medium pale cherry rim. Lovely, sweet bilberry and cassis fruit on the nose, some spice and tea leaf notes. Quite full bodied on the palate, dense with mouth-coating, slightly chewy tannins. Very rich with lots of ripe primary fruit, cassis and bilberry, some cocoa and chocolate notes, medium acidity and decent length finish. Harmonious and balanced, but not overly complex and needs a lot more time to show at its best. Won't touch my other bottle for at least 5 years.
